That was impressive foe the least, Thormodr.
I would still cry if Cleopatra strarted to speak to me in latin or in greek. Although I think we probably have absolutely no idea whatsoever about how Egyptian sounded.
That's true. Archaeologists don't know exactly how Ancient Egyptian sounded, since the Egyptians usually didn't put in their vowels (I think Arabic works the same today, if I remember correctly), so "Ramses" probably wasn't pronounced like "Ramses" (this is also the reason why you see different spellings like Ramesses, Ramses, Rameses, and so forth). In fact, "Ramses" was probably pronounced something more like "Riamessesa", as that was what the Hittites (or Assyrians, I forgot which) recorded his name as. The "common spelling" of Ancient Egyptian is actually just a way for archaeologists to more easily work when dealing with Ancient Egypt.
So I'm assuming Ramses will be speaking the butchered version of Ancient Egyptian in Civ5. Or he could speak Coptic, since we do know how that sounds like, even though that wouldn'e be the Ancient Egyptpian he would have been speaking.
